This Obama hissyfit is just spiteful now. Heís basically declared war on our World War II veterans at home and now overseas at one of our famous memorials. The man has no conscience. His obnoxious petulance is designed to cause as much grief as possible, all the while pretending he has nothing to do with any of this.

This should be an awesome photo op. Go show them, Obama! Better yet, send out some of your union stormtroopers to throw a beating on the old guys. Heck, they only helped save the nation, but itís Obama Nation now!

The men who did this 69 years ago...

...have to do it again.

Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

Once upon a lifetime ago, these seniors were "the boys of Pointe du Hoc." They took Iwo Jima, yard by bloody yard. They were Screaming Eagles, Pathfinders, Hellcats, all-American G.I.s who came by the hundreds, by the tens of thousands, from every farm town and big city in America to fight Nazism in Europe and Imperial Japan in the Pacific. Once, they could scale cliffs, jump from planes and earn medals. Now, seven decades later, they walk slowly or need wheelchairs, their navy blue ball caps emblazoned with the name of their naval ships or battle. Long ago, they earned our eternal gratitude and respect, and no government of any political stripe or party should ever forget it.

But this is exactly what the Obama White House and the Democratic Party have done. In producing political theatrics to depict the budget impasse over defunding socialized medicine (Obamacare) vs. funding the government as tea party-Ted-Cruz-engendered disappointment with penalties for all, they have abandoned even these very special Americans. It's unthinkable that any government would dishonor its veterans this way. It's not only that there was no need, no call to barricade the World War II Memorial. That a government would do such a thing shows it has no concept of what it means to be Americans with common bonds and a common past.

The way the Obama administration treats these men doesn't bode well for the rest of us. Meanwhile, who would have imagined that now, with their span nearly complete, these same men would have to stand for freedom one more time -- but this time against their own government?

Closing all of these Veteran's memorials for no real purpose other than for Obama's temper tantrum, brought to mind another incident. My Dad was a WW1 veteran. Does anybody recall reading about the The Veterans Bonus March of 1932?

Young men volunteer or are drafted into the duty of preserving the Nation. All give some, and some give all. And then they are treated like this by a piece of shit that despises the military.
